Cheng Zhiyuan opened his eyes, and Feng Ye came in from outside the gate of the Fourth Hall and went straight to not far in front of him.

In ancient times, ten strokes were the journey, and ten strokes were the inch, and the degree was the origin of the degree. Therefore, it was converted into degree, the course of the charter, and the course of the project. It was said that it was limited to degree, which was a measure of weights and measures."

In ancient times, the original meaning of the word Cheng was to transport grains to the capital, so the grain escort officer in the Shang Dynasty was "Cheng".

Feng Ye brought the file in. It was Li Si's answer. He waved to Cheng Zhiyuan: "Come on, I have something to ask you."

He did not call himself the Master of the Taixue because Cheng Zhiyuan was his nominal junior brother.

Cheng Zhiyuan walked over.

Ying Yiren and Taishi Jian stared at each other and couldn't speak.

Feng Ye handed the file to Cheng Zhiyuan: "Look."

Cheng Zhiyuan had already felt that he was outside the door, and there was another faint breath, which was Xunzi. Cheng Zhiyuan didn't know what the two were talking about, but doing their own things well actually didn't matter what they said.

He opened Li Si's file and found that the things written in it were exactly what Ying Yiren had seen.

Feng Ye waited for a while, and after watching Cheng, he asked, "Do you think a gentleman is not a different nature and is good at lie in things. How can this sentence be explained? Can the candidates understand it correctly?"

Cheng Zhiyuan: "A gentleman is good at leveraging external things. This is the fundamental reason why he can override other people with his ordinary qualifications. In this file, the answer explained by this candidate explains the way of the king, the king, the minister, and the king can use the minister,

The minister can use the king, and the king will benefit the ministers and govern the people. The ministers can use the king to oversee the four fields, so they can make the world happy.”

"The answer to this question, after first looking at it, can be called the best and the answer to governing the country."

Feng Ye didn't speak.

Cheng Zhiyuan took a photo of the file: "However, few monarchs and ministers in the world can understand this truth. The reason is desire and ambition, suspicion and guardianship. Therefore, those who are monarchs are by no means gentlemen, and those who are monarchs cannot be gentlemen.

”

"An upright gentleman must not be a qualified king or a qualified minister."

Feng Ye's eyes showed surprise: "This is different from the judgment you made before."

Cheng Zhiyuan said: "No, it is the same. A gentleman can be a king, but a king cannot become a gentleman. The same is true for his subjects."

"The answer is a theory, but the one who can propose it is a talented person, but he did not say that a gentleman is because you misunderstood."

Feng Ye immediately understood.

If a gentleman becomes a king, he will not be able to live for a long time. If a gentleman becomes a minister, he will not be able to live. If an upright person is bent, he will not be a gentleman, but will truly become a king and a minister.

"I used to do work in the dyeing workshop in Handan."

Cheng Zhiyuan walked back and forth between the few people.

"The big tank is emitting white air. You need to put the cloth inside and cook it. This is to make the cloth 'cooked' and make it easier to dye it with color."

"The world is a house, the country is a tank, all colors are the Tao, and gentlemen are cloth."

Cheng Zhiyuan: "Cook cloth, my answer is here, senior brother, please think about it."

Feng Ye began to think, but Tai Shi Jian couldn't understand it, and he also began to frown, as if he forgot that he was here to be punished.

Only Ying Yiren spoke at this time.

"Sir... Qin State, what does Qin State say!"

He was dissatisfied with dissatisfaction: "Qin Xiaogong valued Shang Jun, reformed and strengthened Qin, and the monarch and ministers performed their duties. Isn't this the gentleman's monarch and the gentleman's ministers that cannot be realized in the words of the gentleman?"

Cheng Zhiyuan: "Still Shang Jun's body is in peace?"

Ying Yiren was choked, but he was still dissatisfied: "After the eight years of governance, Qin State was powerful. If it weren't for the stupidity of Xiaogong before his death, he said that he would give way to Shangjun, he would not have been sued by Ying Qian and his clans.

The rebellion of the King of Shang, the law of the King of Qin, was ordered to implement the Qin State and the King of Qin, which was incapable of a hundred steps. This was a big mistake. Therefore, the King of Shang dug his own grave and then started a war in Qin, and died in Tongdi.

The body was cracked by the car...it was caused by one's own fault..."

Cheng Zhiyuan nodded: "Mr. Shang only knows how to reform and not respect the king. The King of Qin naturally cannot tolerate him. Since ancient times, those who have achieved great success will not die well. Therefore, is Mr. Shang a gentleman? He is indeed a gentleman for law.

, but the king he serves is no longer a gentleman.”

"So is the world happy?"

"Qin Xiaogong was angry at the western front, and gave favors, helped the lonely and widowed, recruited soldiers, rewarded merits in the Ming Dynasty, killed King Rong in the west, defeated the powerful Chu in the south, and looked at the six kingdoms to help them. His military achievements were great, but harmony might not be harmonious."

Ying Yiren hurriedly said, "So the gentleman still recognizes Mr. Xiao and Mr. Shang!"

He was eager to prove the way of Qin.

Cheng Zhiyuan waved his sleeves and covered a light gray outer robe with a layer of light gray robe on the outside of the vermilion fire robe. He was picking gold and carving all over his eyes. This is the clothes that lecturers in the school all have, and the clothing shapes are different, and the chest is

There is no oblique mouth in front, and the sides are erect like a waterfall, so that some of the clothing inside can be seen.

During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, people in the world all looked up at the ground with their crowns, clothes and shoes.

"All things are used, and people are used to their talents; after they are used to their talents, the birds are kept with good bows."

Cheng Zhiyuan looked at Ying Yiren and said, "The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook."

"Before cooking, a good cloth is needed, before it starts to cook, a good cloth, and just the right amount of boiling mist, so that I can cook the cloth to the shape I want, and then I can add color better."

"The cloth is a gentleman. When it is cooked thoroughly, it will become soft. When it is cooked, it will become rotten and it will be useless."

Cheng Zhiyuan's words were like thunder and thunder. After Ying Yiren was speechless, his expression immediately became darker and he was a little lost.

Shang Jun is beneficial to King Qin, and King Qin also uses Shang Jun,

And Feng Ye also thought it through at this time.

This is indeed an extremely clever explanation, and compared to the comments on self-realization of form, the principles Cheng Zhiyuan said this time are obviously more thorough.

In Cheng Zhiyuan's view, the two most important words about Xunzi's words are "good and false". So how can you be good at (good) false (using) external objects? Whether it is a human or an artifact, the most important thing is to understand thoroughly.

"But in some cases, too much is too much, which will lead to arrogance."

Just like Shang Jun, he has made Qin State become a king who only knows Shang Jun's laws but does not know the order of the King of Qin. This is because he has too much understanding of the King of Qin. Gongzi Qian knew that not killing him would not be enough to make the King of Qin the King of Qin, so Shang Jun will die.

Cheng Zhiyuan re-evaluated the file: "The law of a gentleman is correct. I am not correcting people. Those who do not correct others will be wrong. If they do not correct others, they will not be gentlemen. The king must be upright in the world, but the king must not be upright. The ancient Yao and Shun have received a lot of help.

Confucianism praises it, but why is it recorded that Shun imprisoned Yao, killed Danzhu, Yu imprisoned Shun, and Liu Cangwu?"

Feng Ye's expression was extremely complicated at this time. He thought silently and sighed in his heart. Finally, he could only clap his hands and say OK.

He is good at studying and proficient in teaching materials, and is good at explaining the meaning of subtle words, rather than learning to remember questions.

If you know the small things, you can be a teacher.

Cheng Zhiyuan suddenly turned around: "The True Lord Nanhua once left a story that explained a truth."

Feng Ye nodded: "Please speak."

Cheng Zhiyuan said: "Mr. Dongguo asked the True Lord Nanhua, and asked him where he said it was. The True Lord said it was in the ant hole. Mr. Dongguo asked again, the True Lord said it was among the barnyard grass, bricks and tiles. Mr. Dongguo's third

Asked, the True Lord said that he was in the cesspool. Mr. Dongguo finally asked. The True Lord kicked the dust and said that he was in a humble place."

Feng Ye's eyes gradually glared, then sighed.

Cheng Zhiyuan: "A gentleman is a person who protects the Tao, but he himself respects the trajectory of the Tao. Therefore, when the Tao is in chaos, the gentleman will be in chaos. But there is no Tao in the world. What the gentleman sees and respects

Tao, where is Tao?"

"It's like cooking cloth. The world is a dyeing workshop, and the country is a tank. What color is inside the tank? The cloth can be seen before going down. The temperature inside can be noticed, so you can choose to go or not."

"But the components that make up those colors are something that gentlemen cannot know. Perhaps it is ordinary red flowers, perhaps it is a terrible corrosive poison. This is the appearance of the country, it is the heart of the people, it is desire, it is greed, it is integrity, it is stupidity.

.....”

"A gentleman's nature is not different. He is good at lie in things. Everything can be used by me, but it is not owned by me."

When Feng Ye heard this, he closed his eyes and sighed that he was not as good as that.

"It's true that I can be a teacher. The Taixue master has never participated in the way of governing the country. How can I know these principles?"

Cheng Zhiyuan said: "Using history as a guide, you can correct people. If you see too many things, you will not be able to do them, and you can understand one or two things. It is just a matter of using things to describe things, seeing the big things from the small, and observing the dust and knowing the heavens."

He also said to Ying Yiren: "The road to Qin is not wrong, but I don't think that Shang Jun is a gentleman, because he wants to use the King of Qin to realize his ambitions. From the beginning, it was not for the world's plan, and the King of Qin was the national fortune.

The countries that are low and Qin will not participate in the alliance! Only by sincerely selecting talents can Qin become stronger!”

"After the incident, Qin suspicious of Shang Jun, and Shang Jun regards Qin as his own thing, so he has violated the gentleman's nature, and everything is used by me, but not mine, and the disaster of death,

From here, everything is unprepared and cannot be faked! How can I die without death?”

"He is no longer on the road, the cloth is rotten!"

Cheng Zhiyuan said: "But this is also my family's words. You are from Qin, Shang Jun, Qin Gong. What do they look like in your heart? I don't think of it."

He pointed to Taishi Jian and Feng Ye: "What they say doesn't count, it's only if you say it."

"Dye cloth, there are a thousand kinds of cloth in a thousand jars, and no two are the same."

When Feng Ye heard this, he felt that it was OK and there was no need to listen. The subsequent events had nothing to do with the answer to this question and the answer. Cheng is the accuracy of things, and the principles he said were worthy of the word Cheng.

"Everything is ready for me." ("Mencius's Heart")

Accurately grasp the time and temperature of the cloth and correctly add the dye color, and the good cloth will be produced.

On the other hand, everything is unprepared, and what comes out is rotten cloth.

This is Cheng Zhiyuan’s answer. In fact, it is precisely the reason that comes from Mencius!
